Governance

Witness Conditions: Regime Preservation in AI-Mediated Decision Systems

In production (complete)

A paper specifying what must remain in place for witnessing to continue functioning under AI mediation.

Function in corpus

Specification layer between abstract witnessing theory and applied AI governance. Central for later papers on handover, audits, and alignment limits.

Details

The analysis translates the general witnessing theory into operational conditions for mediated systems. It asks when attributional coherence survives delegation, acceleration, and distributed decision structures, and when apparent oversight remains only decorative because the terminating structure has already been lost. • Connected papers: Witnessing Under Vulnerability; The Handover Protocol; Consequence-Path Audits; Alignment After Witnessing
